Xen users - Dec 2005 - Binding a nic to an interface in domU

Hi,

I would like to set up a machine which has two domU vms so they can both
be used as firewall machines -- we are getting two different internet
connections and I want to firewall both of them using one machine.

What I would like to do is bind one interface in each of the domUs to
the nic and the second to a bridged device and then use iptables to
firewall each vm.

a) does anyone know if this is possible and b) does it sound like the
correct way to do this?!

Seems like overkill. IPTABLES has filter properties on a per route and
per device basis. Why not
just learn how to use IPTABLES first, then you wouldn''t need three
doms.
